How long does food poisoning last, and how can you overcome it?

Food poisoning occurs when you eat food or drink water that is contaminated by bacteria, parasites, viruses, or toxins.

Most food poisoning is due to common bacteria, such as Staphyloccus, or E. coli.

Food poisoning may also occur when people cook food without washing their hands properly, when food is prepared using unclean cooking vessels, when sensitive foods are left out of the refrigerator for a long time, and when people eat raw foods such as fish or raw meat and eggs.

Not filtered water can also cause food poisoning.

How long does food poisoning last?

Usually you will be cured of the most common food poisoning in 12 or 48 hours.

During this time, you need to make sure that your body gets sufficient fluid so that you do not become dehydrated.

Do not eat solid foods until diarrhea passes, and avoid milk products.

Drink any liquid (aside from milk and caffeine) to replace fluids in your body.

If you have eaten toxins from mushrooms or domesticants, seek medical attention immediately. The emergency room doctor will then empty your stomach and remove your toxin. /Telegraphy/
